commit38e0257e0eupstream. The erratum1418040workaround enables CNTVCT_EL1 access trapping in EL0 when executing compat threads. The workaround is applied when switching between tasks, but the need for the workaround could also change at an exec(), when a non-compat task execs a compat binary or vice versa. Apply the workaround in arch_setup_new_exec(). This leaves a small window of time between SET_PERSONALITY and arch_setup_new_exec where preemption could occur and confuse the old workaround logic that compares TIF_32BIT between prev and next. Instead, we can just read cntkctl to make sure it's in the state that the next task needs. I measured cntkctl read time to be about the same as a mov from a general-purpose register on N1. Update the workaround logic to examine the current value of cntkctl instead of the previous task's compat state.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
